[01:06] <catus> hola?
[04:10] <andreas> hallo. mein pi3 spielt webm nur unter libre elec os
[04:11] <andreas> und beim booten schreibt er immer kernel failed
[04:12] <Astro7467> !de
[04:12] <ubottu> In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis!
[06:46] <SomeTyro> I made an ubuntu mate boot drive on another system.  When I booted that system from it, it didn't ask for a login.  On a different device, it is asking for a password when booting from the stick.  How can I resolve this such that I can boot into the stick and install the OS?
[06:54] <diogenes_> SomeTyro, at what stage it is asking for password?
[06:56] <SomeTyro> Boots the os, asks for a username and password to get to the desktop
[06:57] <diogenes_> in terminal or dm?
[06:57] <SomeTyro> dm
[06:57] <SomeTyro> it's very pretty ^_^
[06:57] <diogenes_> ok then you press ctrl+alt+f1
[06:59] <SomeTyro> okay, and what happens then?
[06:59] <SomeTyro> (i am here on this system, booted into windows)
[06:59] <diogenes_> it will ask for login
[06:59] <SomeTyro> okay....
[06:59] <diogenes_> you type linux
[06:59] <diogenes_> then
[07:00] <diogenes_> sudo -s startx
[07:01] <SomeTyro> okay, and that will put me in the live disc desktop environment?
[07:01] <diogenes_> if you're lucky
[07:02] <alkisg> SomeTyro: the username is ubuntu-mate, and the password is empty
[07:02] <diogenes_> right ^
[07:02] <alkisg> It shouldn't ask for a password, but I've seen this bug in some alpha releases
[07:02] <SomeTyro> Well, that works
[07:03] <diogenes_> i just have not much experience with mate :)
[07:03] <SomeTyro> and now to try things... Again!
[07:03] <SomeTyro> Thanks ^_^
[07:09] <diogenes_> btw how do you guys pronounce mate? meit? mAtej?
[07:10] <diogenes_> matEj maybe
[07:31] <alkisg> diogenes_: no, it's exactly mate, it's spanish
[07:32] <alkisg> Read like if it was e.g. latin or italian
[07:33] <diogenes_> alkisg, I see.
[08:17] <wangjunying> halo

[17:11] <Paddy_NI> mate|1645, You should try and provide more information

[17:14] <mate|1645> there is no SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
[17:15] <Paddy_NI> mate|1645, Open a terminal and type "lspci" without the quotes then copy the output and paste it here https://paste.ubuntu.com/ then return the generated link back here
[17:15] <mate|1645> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26258874/

[17:19] <mate|1645> no win10

[18:37] <nemo> http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_an_Ubuntu_Xenial_installation
[18:37] <nemo> does anyone know if there'd be any MATE specific issues with removing systemd from xenial?
[18:38] <nemo> I'm considering whether it'd just be easier to do devuan
[18:38] <Akuli> i don't see how mate would cause issues, but devuan is easier to set up because it doesn't come with systemd to begin with
[18:38] <nemo> mm
[18:39] <nemo> I just like the ubuntu PPA mechanism really
[18:39] <nemo> it's good for long-term support with augmented extras
[18:39] <nemo> but maybe I should just bite the bullet
[18:39] <Akuli> you can use ppas in devuan
[18:39] <Akuli> i'm not sure i get what you nean
[18:39] <Akuli> mean
[18:39] <nemo> I have a vague recollection of this being a pain to setup the last time I tried a devuan about a year ago.
[18:39] <nemo> but maybe it's not too bad
[18:40] <nemo> certainly wasn't easy to do during setup
[18:40] <nemo> which was when I needed it for a wifi driver
[18:40] <Akuli> the broadcom thing? i think ubuntu and devuan both come with it somewhere in the installation iso
[18:40] <nemo> yeah... guess I'll just suck it up and switch
[18:40] <nemo> Akuli: can't remember 'sactly which one it was, but it was something semi-esoteric
[18:41] <nemo> there was a devuan one, but it crashed every few hundred kilobytes
[18:41] <nemo> so had to get a PPA
[18:41] <nemo> s/devuan/debian/
[18:41] <nemo> (yes, I know devuan is just a thin overlay ☺ )
[18:41] <nemo> aight. guess I'll do that then.
[18:41] <Akuli> the ubuntu ppa would probably work just fine in debian
[18:42] <Akuli> or devuan
[18:42] <Akuli> debian people don't want you to use ubuntu ppas in debian because they can be weird if they don't work
[18:42] <nemo> eh. I sympathise
[18:42] <nemo> surprising how much of a hassle Mint users can be )
[18:42] <nemo> ☺
[18:43] <nemo> righto. Devuan it is!
[18:43]  * nemo hunts for a spare USB drive
[18:43] <Akuli> you could ask on #devuan about your wifi first
[18:43] <nemo> Akuli: that was another laptop long ago
[18:44] <nemo> Akuli: but maybe will drop by there just to pre-empty any probblems with this lenovo ideapad 320
[18:44] <nemo> *preempt
[18:45] <nemo> right now I'm busy packing windows away in case it is needed later
[18:45] <nemo> big waste of HD space ☹
[18:49] <dacronman> Hello
[18:56] <nemo> good bye
[21:22] <tiox> Not even a "Happy holidays" in the title. Damn.
[21:22] <tiox> Anyway, I come here seeing if anyone ever figured out a way to port the draw spaces plugin for Pluma, or if someone knows if it is usable.
[22:23] <nemo> tiox: don't see any reason it wouldn't work...
